A Captain’s Lot is Not a Happy One
|

|
To lose one officer is a misfortune; to lose two looks … careless, especially when the word
“lose” is more literal than euphemistic. The all-too-newly Captain Reese was only
glad that, technically, his predecessor had died on her own watch along with Knight’s first
partner. The curious disappearance of the detective himself was another matter. And the
simultaneous vanishment of the pathologist would undoubtedly be mentioned, though technically outside
the jurisdiction of the board of enquiry.
And, of course, there was the murder of Detective Vetter. The Commissioner was breathing
fire. As a father, Reese understood; but it was his bacon sizzling.
